Things started pretty slow with only four red-breasted mergansers and a few
gulls before 9:00.  Most of the birds listed below passed by between
9:00-10:00.  There was a bit of drizzle early.  Perhaps that was what kept
the movement down early.  Best birds were 2 male long-tailed ducks and a
white-winged scoter.
